That is, under control of the input signal and the first power signal, in the case where the output circuit 130 allows the second clock signal line CB to be electrically connected to the output terminal GOUT, the second clock signal may be output to the output terminal GOUT as the output signal. Alternatively, in the case where the output circuit 130 allows the second power line VGH to be electrically connected to the output terminal GOUT, the second power signal may be output to the output terminal GOUT as the output signal.

For example, in the case where the gate driving circuit includes a plurality of cascaded shift register units 100 illustrated in FIG. 1 , the output terminals GOUT may be electrically connected to corresponding gate lines, so as to control a plurality of rows of pixel units in the pixel array on the display substrate 10 to be sequentially turned on, that is, the output signal of the output terminal GOUT may be used as a switching-state voltage signal for controlling each pixel unit of the display substrate 10.

For example, the output circuit 130 includes an output sub-circuit, a first output control sub-circuit, and a second output control sub-circuit.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 1 , the output sub-circuit is electrically connected to the second clock signal line CB, the output terminal GOUT, and the first node N1, respectively. The output sub-circuit is configured to output the second clock signal on the second clock signal line CB to the output terminal GOUT as the output signal under control of the level of the first node N1.

For example, the output sub-circuit includes an eighth transistor T8, a gate electrode of the eighth transistor T8 is electrically connected to the first node N1, a first electrode of the eighth transistor T8 is electrically connected to the second clock signal line CB to receive the second clock signal, and a second electrode of the eighth transistor T8 is electrically connected to the output terminal GOUT.

For example, the first output control sub-circuit is electrically connected to the second power line VGH, the output terminal GOUT, and the second node N2, respectively. The first output control sub-circuit is configured to output the second power signal on the second power line VGH to the output terminal GOUT as the output signal under control of the level of the second node N2.

For example, the first output control sub-circuit includes a third transistor T3, a gate electrode of the third transistor T3 is electrically connected to the second node N2, a first electrode of the third transistor T3 is electrically connected to the second power line VGH to receive the second power signal, and a second electrode of the third transistor T3 is electrically connected to the output terminal GOUT.

For example, the second output control sub-circuit is electrically connected to the first node N1, the second node N2, the third node N3, the first clock signal line CK, the second clock signal line CB, the first power line VGL, and the second power line VGH, respectively. The second output control sub-circuit is configured to control the level of the first node N1 and the level of the second node N2. For example, in the case where the level of the first node N1 may control the output sub-circuit to be turned on, the output sub-circuit may write the second clock signal to the output terminal GOUT as the output signal; and in the case where the level of the second node N2 may control the first output control sub-circuit to be turned on, the first output control sub-circuit may write the second power signal to the output terminal GOUT as the output signal.

For example, the second output control sub-circuit includes a fourth transistor T4, a fifth transistor T5, a sixth transistor T6, and a seventh transistor T7.

For example, a gate electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is electrically connected to the second node N2, a first electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is electrically connected to the second power line VGH to receive the second power signal, and a second electrode of the fourth transistor T4 is electrically connected to a first electrode of the fifth transistor T5.

For example, a gate electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the second clock signal line CB to receive the second clock signal, and a second electrode of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the third node N3.

For example, a gate electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the first power line VGL to receive the first power signal, a first electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the third node N3, and a second electrode of the sixth transistor T6 is electrically connected to the first node N1.

For example, a gate electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is electrically connected to the third node N3, a first electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is electrically connected to the first clock signal line CK to receive the first clock signal, and a second electrode of the seventh transistor T7 is electrically connected to the second node N2.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 1 , the output circuit 130 further includes a first storage sub-circuit, and the first storage sub-circuit is used for maintaining the level at the second node N2. For example, the first storage sub-circuit includes a first capacitor C1, a first electrode of the first capacitor C1 is electrically connected to the second node N2, and a second electrode of the first capacitor C1 is electrically connected to the second power line VGH and the first electrode of the third transistor T3.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 1 , the output circuit 130 further includes a second storage sub-circuit, and the second storage sub-circuit is used for maintaining the level at the first node N1. For example, the second storage sub-circuit includes a second capacitor C2, a first electrode of the second capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the first node N1, and a second electrode of the second capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the output terminal GOUT and the second electrode of the eighth transistor T8.

For example, both the first power signal and the second power signal may be direct-current voltage signals. For example, the first power signal is a low-level signal (for example, 0V, −5V, or other voltages), and the second power signal is a high-level signal (for example, 5V, 10V, or other voltages). It should be noted that the low-level signal and the high-level signal are relative, and the low-level signal is smaller than the high-level signal. In different embodiments, values of the high-level signals may be different, and values of the low-level signals may also be different.

It should be noted that the input control circuit 110, the input circuit 120, and the output circuit 130 illustrated in FIG. 1 are only an example of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and the shift register unit of the display substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure includes but is not limited to the case illustrated in FIG. 1 .

It should be noted that all the transistors used in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be thin film transistors, field effect transistors, or other switching components with the same characteristics. The source electrode and drain electrode of the transistor used here may be symmetrical in structure, and therefore, the source electrode and drain electrode of the transistor may have no difference in structure. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to distinguish the two electrodes of the transistor except the gate electrode, one of the two electrodes is described as the first electrode, and another of the two electrodes is described as the second electrode, so that the first electrode and the second electrode of all or part of the transistors in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be interchanged as needed. For example, the first electrode of the transistor described in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be the source electrode, and the second electrode of the transistor described in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be the drain electrode. Alternatively, the first electrode of the transistor may be the drain electrode, and the second electrode of the transistor may be the source electrode. In addition, the transistors may be divided into N-type transistors and P-type transistors according to the characteristics. In the case where the transistor is the P-type transistor, the turn-on voltage is a low-level voltage (for example, 0V, −5V, or other values), and the turn-off voltage is a high-level voltage (for example, 5V, 10V, or other values); and in the case where the transistor is the N-type transistor, the turn-on voltage is a high-level voltage (for example, 5V, 10V, or other values), and the turn-off voltage is a low-level voltage (for example, 0V, −5V, or other values).

For example, in the embodiments of the present disclosure illustrated in FIG. 1 , all the transistors are P-type transistors.

For example, in the embodiments of the present disclosure illustrated in FIG. 1 , the channel of the transistor may correspond to, for example, the channel region between the source region and the drain region of the active layer of the transistor, the distance between the source region and the drain region is the length of the channel of the transistor, and the extending direction of the channel of the transistor is the direction from the first electrode to the second electrode of the transistor. The extending direction of the channel of at least one selected form a group consisting of the first transistor T1 to the eighth transistor 8 is parallel to the extending direction of the clock signal line (for example, the first clock signal line CK and the second clock signal line CB), so that the width of the position occupied by the gate driving circuit including a plurality of cascaded shift register units in the display substrate is reduced, thereby optimizing the layout structure of the display substrate and reducing the frame size of the display device including the display substrate to achieve the narrow frame design.

Hereinafter, the working principle of the shift register unit 100 illustrated in FIG. 1 is described in conjunction with the driving timing diagram illustrated in FIG. 2 .

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 2 , the working process of the shift register unit 100 provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure includes an input phase t1, an output phase t2, a buffer phase t3, and a stable phase t4.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , in the input phase t1, the first clock signal provided on the first clock signal line CK is a low-level signal, the second clock signal provided on the second clock signal line CB is a high-level signal, and the input signal Vin provided on the input signal line STV is a low-level signal, for example, the input signal Vin being equal to the first power signal VL. Because the first clock signal is the low-level signal, the second transistor T2 is turned on, and the input signal is transmitted to the third node N3 through the second transistor T2. Because the second transistor T2 has threshold loss when transmitting the low-level signal, the voltage of the third node N3 is Vin−Vth2, that is, VL−Vth2, where Vth2 represents the threshold voltage of the second transistor T2. Because the gate electrode of the sixth transistor T6 receives the first power signal VL, the sixth transistor T6 is in the turn-on state, and thus, the voltage VL−Vth2 is transmitted to the first node N1 through the sixth transistor T6. For example, the threshold voltage of the sixth transistor T6 is represented as Vth6. Similarly, because the sixth transistor T6 has threshold loss when transmitting the low-level signal, the voltage of the first node N1 is VL−VthN1, where VthN1 is the smaller one of Vth2 and Vth6. The voltage of the first node N1 may control the eighth transistor T8 to be turned on, and the second clock signal is written to the output terminal GOUT through the eighth transistor T8 as the output signal, that is, in the input phase t1, the output signal is the high-level second clock signal, i.e., the second power signal VH.

For example, in the input phase t1, because the first clock signal is the low-level signal, the first transistor T1 is turned on, and the first power signal VL is transmitted to the second node N2 through the first transistor T1. Because the voltage of the third node N3 is VL−Vth2, the seventh transistor T7 is turned on, and the low-level first clock signal is transmitted to the second node N2 through the seventh transistor T7. For example, the threshold voltage of the seventh transistor T7 is represented as Vth7, and the threshold voltage of the first transistor T1 is represented as Vth1. In the case where Vth1<Vth7+Vth2, the voltage of the second node N2 is VL−Vth7−Vth2; and in the case where Vth1>Vth7+Vth2, the voltage of the second node N2 is VL−Vth1. In this phase, both the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 are turned on. Because the second clock signal is the high-level signal, the fifth transistor T5 is turned off.

For example, with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , in the output phase t2, the first clock signal provided on the first clock signal line CK is a high-level signal, the second clock signal provided on the second clock signal line CB is a low-level signal, and the input signal Vin provided on the input signal line STV is a high-level signal. The eighth transistor T8 is turned on, and the second clock signal is written to the output terminal GOUT through the eighth transistor T8 as the output signal. In the input phase t1, the voltage of one electrode, connected to the output terminal GOUT, of the second capacitor C2 is the second power signal VH, and the voltage of another electrode, connected to the first node N1, of the second capacitor C2 is VL−VthN1. In the output phase t2, the voltage of the electrode, connected to the output terminal GOUT, of the second capacitor C2 changes to VL, and because of the bootstrap effect of the second capacitor C2, the voltage of the another electrode, connected to the first node N1, of the second capacitor C2 changes to 2VL−VthN1−VH, that is, the voltage of the first node N1 becomes 2VL−VthN1−VH. In this phase, the sixth transistor T6 is turned off, the eighth transistor T8 may be better turned on, and the output signal is the first power signal VL.

For example, in the output phase t2, the first clock signal is the high-level signal, so that both the second transistor T2 and the first transistor T1 are turned off. The voltage of the third node N3 is still VL−VthN1, the seventh transistor T7 is turned on, and the high-level first clock signal is transmitted to the second node N2 through the seventh transistor T7, that is, the voltage of the second node N2 is the second power signal VH, so that both the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 are turned off. Because the second clock signal is the low-level signal, the fifth transistor T5 is turned on.

For example, with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , in the buffer phase t3, the first clock signal provided on the first clock signal line CK and the second clock signal provided on the second clock signal line CB are both high-level signals, and the input signal Vin provided on the input signal line STV is a high-level signal. The eighth transistor T8 is turned on, and the second clock signal is written to the output terminal GOUT through the eighth transistor T8 as the output signal. In this phase, the output signal is the high-level second clock signal, that is, the second power signal VH. Because of the bootstrap effect of the second capacitor C2, the voltage of the first node N1 becomes VL−VthN1.

For example, in the buffer phase t3, the first clock signal is the high-level signal, so that both the second transistor T2 and the first transistor T1 are turned off. The voltage of the first node N1 becomes VL−VthN1. In this phase, the sixth transistor T6 is turned on, the voltage of the third node N3 is also VL−VthN1, the seventh transistor T7 is turned on, and the high-level first clock signal is transmitted to the second node N2 through the seventh transistor T7, that is, the voltage of the second node N2 is the second power signal VH, so that both the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 are turned off. Because the second clock signal is the high-level signal, the fifth transistor T5 is turned off.

For example, with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , in a first sub-phase t41 of the stable phase t4, the first clock signal provided on the first clock signal line CK is a low-level signal, the second clock signal provided on the second clock signal line CB is a high-level signal, and the input signal Vin provided on the input signal line STV is a high-level signal, for example, the input signal Vin being equal to the second power signal VH. Because the first clock signal is the low-level signal, the second transistor T2 is turned on, and the input signal Vin is transmitted to the third node N3 through the second transistor T2. Because the second transistor T2 transmits the high-level signal without threshold loss, the voltage of the third node N3 is Vin (that is, the second power signal VH), and the seventh transistor T7 is turned off. Because the sixth transistor T6 is in the turn-on state, the voltage of the first node N1 is the same as the voltage of the third node N3, that is, the voltage of the first node N1 is VH, and the eighth transistor T8 is turned off. Because the first clock signal is the low-level signal, the first transistor T1 is turned on, the voltage of the second node N2 is VL−Vth1, the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 are both turned on, and the second power signal VH is transmitted to the output terminal GOUT through the third transistor T3, that is, the output signal is the second power signal VH.

For example, with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , in a second sub-phase t42 of the stable phase t4, the first clock signal provided on the first clock signal line CK is a high-level signal, the second clock signal provided on the second clock signal line CB is a low-level signal, and the input signal Vin provided on the input signal line STV is a high-level signal. Both the voltage of the first node N1 and the voltage of the third node N3 are Vin (that is, the second power signal VH), and both the eighth transistor T8 and the seventh transistor T7 are turned off. The first clock signal is the high-level signal, so that both the second transistor T2 and the first transistor T1 are turned off. Because of the maintaining effect of the first capacitor C1, the voltage of the second node N2 is still VL−Vth1, both the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 are turned on, the second power signal VH is transmitted to the output terminal GOUT through the third transistor T3, and the output signal is the second power signal VH.

For example, with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , in the second sub-phase t42, because the second clock signal is the low-level signal, the fifth transistor T5 is turned on, so that the second power signal VH is transmitted to the third node N3 and the first node N1 through the fourth transistor T4 and the fifth transistor T5, so as to allow the voltage of the first node N1 and the voltage of the third node N3 to be maintained at the high level.

For example, with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , in a third sub-phase t43 of the stable phase t4, the first clock signal provided on the first clock signal line CK and the second clock signal provided on the second clock signal line CB are both high-level signals, and the input signal Vin provided on the input signal line STV is a high-level signal. The voltage of the first node N1 and the voltage of the third node N3 are VH, and the eighth transistor T8 and the seventh transistor T7 are turned off. The first clock signal is the high-level signal, so that both the second transistor T2 and the first transistor T1 are turned off, the voltage of the second node N2 is still VL−Vth1, and the third transistor T3 and the fourth transistor T4 are both turned on. The second power signal VH is transmitted to the output terminal GOUT through the third transistor T3, and the output signal is the second power signal VH.

Hereinafter, a specific layout structure of a display substrate provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure is described by taking the circuit structure of the shift register unit 100 illustrated in FIG. 1 as an example.

For example, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the display substrate includes: a semiconductor layer, a first insulating layer, a first conductive layer, a second insulating layer, a second conductive layer, a third insulating layer, and a third conductive layer.

For example, the semiconductor layer is located on the base substrate, and the first insulating layer is located on a side of the semiconductor layer away from the base substrate, that is, the semiconductor layer is located between the first insulating layer and the base substrate. The first conductive layer is located on a side of the first insulating layer away from the semiconductor layer, that is, the first insulating layer is located between the semiconductor layer and the first conductive layer. The second insulating layer is located on a side of the first conductive layer away from the first insulating layer, that is, the first conductive layer is located between the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer. The second conductive layer is located on a side of the second insulating layer away from the first conductive layer, that is, the second insulating layer is located between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer. The third insulating layer is located on a side of the second conductive layer away from the second insulating layer, that is, the second conductive layer is located between the second insulating layer and the third insulating layer. The third conductive layer is located on a side of the third insulating layer away from the second conductive layer, that is, the third insulating layer is located between the second conductive layer and the third conductive layer.

FIG. 3 is a layout diagram of a display substrate provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, and FIG. 4A to FIG. 4D are schematic planar diagrams of layers of the display substrate illustrated in FIG. 3 .

For example, the display substrate 10 includes a base substrate 200 and the shift register unit 100 illustrated in FIG. 1 , and the shift register unit 100 is provided on the base substrate 200.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3 , the display substrate 10 includes transistors T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, and T8 illustrated in FIG. 1 and provided on the base substrate 200, includes the first power line VGL, the second power line VGH, the first clock signal line CK, the second clock signal line CB, and the input signal line STV, which are provided on the base substrate 200 and connected to the transistors T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, and T8, and further includes the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2, which are provided on the base substrate 200.

Hereinafter, the specific layout structure of the display substrate 10 is described with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4A to FIG. 4D.

For example, FIG. 4A illustrates the semiconductor layer 210 of the display substrate 10. For example, the semiconductor layer 210 may be patterned by using semiconductor materials. The semiconductor layer 210 may be used to manufacture active layers of the above transistors T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, and T8, and each active layer may include a source region, a drain region, and a channel region between the source region and the drain region. For example, the semiconductor layer 210 may be made of amorphous silicon, polycrystalline silicon, oxide semiconductor materials, etc. It should be noted that the above-mentioned source region and drain region may be regions doped with n-type impurities or p-type impurities.

For example, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the doped source region corresponds to the source electrode of the transistor (e.g., the first electrode of the transistor), and the doped drain region corresponds to the drain electrode of the transistor (e.g., the second electrode of the transistor). For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4A, by taking the first transistor T1 as an example, the first electrode S1 of the first transistor T1 may correspond to the source region of the first transistor T1 in the semiconductor layer 210, and the second electrode D1 of the first transistor T1 may correspond to the drain region of the first transistor T1 in the semiconductor layer 210.

It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first electrode of the transistor includes the corresponding source region in the semiconductor layer 210, and the second electrode of the transistor includes the corresponding drain region in the semiconductor layer 210. However, this does not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of the present disclosure.

For example, in the display substrate 10 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the channel of the transistor may correspond to, for example, the channel region between the source region and the drain region of the active layer of the transistor, the distance between the source region and the drain region is the length of the channel of the transistor, and the extending direction of the channel of the transistor is the direction from the first electrode to the second electrode of the transistor. For example, with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4A, the extending direction of the channel of the first transistor T1 is the direction from the first electrode S1 to the second electrode D1, the extending direction of the channel of the fourth transistor T4 is the direction from the first electrode S4 to the second electrode D4, the extending direction of the channel of the fifth transistor T5 is the direction from the first electrode S5 to the second electrode D5, the extending direction of the channel of the sixth transistor T6 is the direction from the first electrode S6 to the second electrode D6, and the extending direction of the channel of the seventh transistor T7 is the direction from the first electrode S7 to the second electrode D7. The extending directions of the channel of the first transistor T1, the channel of the fourth transistor T4, the channel of the fifth transistor T5, the channel of the sixth transistor T6, and the channel of the seventh transistor T7 are all parallel to the extending direction of the first clock signal line CK and the extending direction of the second clock signal line CB. Therefore, the width of the position occupied by the shift register unit 100 in the display substrate 10 may be reduced, thereby reducing the width of the position occupied by the gate driving circuit including a plurality of cascaded shift register units 100 in the display substrate 10, so that the layout structure of the display substrate 10 is optimized, thereby reducing the frame size of the display device including the display substrate 10, so as to achieve the narrow frame design. In addition, the manufacturing cost of the display substrate 10 and the manufacturing cost of the display device including the display substrate 10 may also be reduced.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4A, the first electrode S1 and the second electrode D1 of the first transistor T1, the first electrode S2 and the second electrode D2 of the second transistor T2, the first electrode S3 and the second electrode D3 of the third transistor T3, the first electrode S4 and the second electrode D4 of the fourth transistor T4, the first electrode S5 and the second electrode D5 of the fifth transistor T5, the first electrode S6 and the second electrode D6 of the sixth transistor T6, the first electrode S7 and the second electrode D7 of the seventh transistor T7, and the first electrode S8 and the second electrode D8 of the eighth transistor T8 are provided in the semiconductor layer 210.

For example, the second electrode D4 of the fourth transistor T4 is electrically connected to the first electrode S5 of the fifth transistor T5, and for example, the second electrode D4 of the fourth transistor T4 and the first electrode S5 of the fifth transistor T5 may be integrally formed by using the same patterning process. The second electrode D3 of the third transistor T3 is electrically connected to the second electrode D8 of the eighth transistor T8, and for example, the second electrode D3 of the third transistor T3 and the second electrode D8 of the eighth transistor T8 may be integrally formed by using the same patterning process. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this aspect.

For example, in the display substrate 10 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first insulating layer (not illustrated) is formed on the semiconductor layer 210 illustrated in FIG. 4A, and the first insulating layer is used to protect the semiconductor layer 210. For example, the material of the first insulating layer may include the organic insulating material (for example, acrylic resin), the inorganic insulating material (for example, silicon nitride (SiNx) or silicon oxide (SiOx)), or the like, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this aspect.

For example, FIG. 4B illustrates the first conductive layer 220 of the display substrate 10, and the first conductive layer 220 is provided on the first insulating layer so as to be insulated from the semiconductor layer 210. The first conductive layer 220 may include the first electrode CE1 of the first capacitor C1, the first electrode CE3 of the second capacitor C2, the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1, the gate electrode G2 of the second transistor T2, the gate electrode G3 of the third transistor T3, the gate electrode G4 of the fourth transistor T4, the gate electrode G5 of the fifth transistor T5, the gate electrode G6 of the sixth transistor T6, the gate electrode G7 of the seventh transistor T7, and the gate electrode G8 of the eighth transistor T8.

For example, in the first conductive layer 220, gate electrodes, electrically connected to the same signal line, of different transistors may be electrically connected to each other. For example, the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 and the gate electrode G2 of the second transistor T2 are both electrically connected to the first clock signal line CK to receive the first clock signal, and therefore, in the first conductive layer 220, the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 may be electrically connected to the gate electrode G2 of the second transistor T2.

For example, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the control terminal of the input control circuit 110 includes a main body portion, and the extending direction of the main body portion is in a straight line. The extending direction of the main body portion is the first direction R1 illustrated in FIG. 3 .

For example, with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4B, the gate electrode G1 (that is, the control terminal of the input control circuit 110) of the first transistor T1 includes a first gate portion 111 (that is, the main body portion of the control terminal of the input control circuit 110), and the extending direction of the first gate portion 111 is in a straight line. Thus, the linear design of the first gate portion 111 may optimize the layout structure of the display substrate 10, and the pattern of the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 formed during exposure is more similar to the designed pattern. Therefore, the influence of process fluctuations on the display substrate 10 during the manufacturing process may be reduced, for example, to avoid different lengths of gate electrodes G1 of first transistors T1 in different display substrates caused by the process fluctuations, thereby improving the stability of the prepared display substrate 10 and enabling the display substrate 10 to be in mass production and application.

For example, in some examples, as illustrated in FIG. 3 , the shape of the orthographic projection of the first gate portion 111 on the base substrate 200 is approximately a rectangle, the orthographic projection of the first gate portion 111 on the base substrate 200 has adjacent first side and second side (e.g., the first side is perpendicular to the second side), the first side is parallel to the first direction R1, and the second side is parallel to the second direction R2.

For example, the extending direction of the first gate portion 111 is the first direction R1. In the second direction R2 perpendicular to the first direction R1, a distance between the orthographic projection of the first gate portion 111 on the base substrate 200 and the orthographic projection of the first electrode S1 of the first transistor T1 on the base substrate 200 is a certain value. In the second direction R2 perpendicular to the first direction R1, a distance between the orthographic projection of the first gate portion 111 on the base substrate 200 and the orthographic projection of the second electrode D1 of the first transistor T1 on the base substrate 200 is a certain value.

For example, in the second direction R2, the orthographic projection of the first gate portion 111 on the base substrate 200 is located between the orthographic projection of the first electrode S1 of the first transistor T1 on the base substrate 200 and the orthographic projection of the second electrode D1 of the first transistor T1 on the base substrate 200.

For example, the shape of the orthographic projection of the first electrode S1 of the first transistor T1 on the base substrate 200 is also approximately a rectangle, and the shape of the orthographic projection of the second electrode D1 of the first transistor T1 on the base substrate 200 is also approximately a rectangle. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, “a distance between the orthographic projection of the first gate portion 111 on the base substrate 200 and the orthographic projection of the first electrode S1 of the first transistor T1 on the base substrate 200” may be expressed as the distance between the first side of the orthographic projection of the first gate portion 111 on the base substrate 200 and the side, which is parallel to the first direction R1, of the orthographic projection of the first electrode S1 of the first transistor T1 on the base substrate 200. Similarly, “a distance between the orthographic projection of the first gate portion 111 on the base substrate 200 and the orthographic projection of the second electrode D1 of the first transistor T1 on the base substrate 200” may be expressed as the distance between the first side of the orthographic projection of the first gate portion 111 on the base substrate 200 and the side, which is parallel to the first direction R1, of the orthographic projection of the second electrode D1 of the first transistor T1 on the base substrate 200.

It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the extending direction of the element is the extending direction of the geometric center line of the pattern outline of the element. For example, the extending direction of the first gate portion 111 is the extending direction of the geometric center line of the pattern outline of the first gate portion 111, that is, the extending direction is, for example, the direction from the first end of the first gate portion 111 to the second end of the first gate portion 111, i.e., the direction from the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 to the gate electrode G2 of the second transistor T2.

For example, the shift register unit 100 of the display substrate 10 further includes a first wiring portion 310, and the first gate portion 111 of the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 is directly connected to the first end of the first wiring portion 310.

For example, in some embodiments of the present disclosure illustrated in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4B, the first wiring portion 310 extends in a straight line along the first direction R1, that is, the extending direction of the first wiring portion 310 is the same as the extending direction of the first gate portion 111. The linear design of the first wiring portion 310 and the linear design of the first gate portion 111 of the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 may further optimize the layout structure of the display substrate 10 and reduce the influence of process fluctuations on the display substrate 10 during the manufacturing process, thereby improving the stability of the prepared display substrate 10 and enabling the display substrate 10 to be in mass production and application.

For example, during the manufacturing process of the display substrate 10, the first gate portion 111 of the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 and the first wiring portion 310 may be provided integrally, and for example, may be formed by the same patterning process, thereby optimizing the manufacturing process of the display substrate 10 and improving the stability of the manufacturing process of the display substrate 10.

For example, the gate electrode G2 (i.e., the control terminal of the input circuit 120) of the second transistor T2 is directly connected to the second end of the first wiring portion 310, and the extending direction of the gate electrode G2 of the second transistor T2 is in a straight line. For example, in some examples, the orthographic projection of the gate electrode G2 of the second transistor T2 on the base substrate 200 may also be approximately rectangular.

For example, in the first direction R1, the orthographic projection of the first wiring portion 310 on the base substrate 200 is located between the orthographic projection of the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 on the base substrate 200 and the orthographic projection of the gate electrode G2 of the second transistor T2 on the base substrate 200, that is, in the first conductive layer 220, the first wiring portion 310 is located between the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 and the gate electrode G2 of the second transistor T2 in the first direction R1.

For example, in some embodiments of the present disclosure illustrated in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4B, the extending direction of the gate electrode G2 of the second transistor T2 may be the first direction R1, that is, may be the same as the extending direction of the first gate portion 111 of the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1. The gate electrode G2 of the second transistor T2 and the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 are arranged in the first direction R1, so that the first gate portion 111 of the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1, the first wiring portion 310, and the gate electrode G2 of the second transistor T2 may extend linearly along the first direction R1 as a whole. Thus, the linear design of the first gate portion 111 of the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1, the first wiring portion 310, and the gate electrode G2 of the second transistor T2 may further optimize the layout structure of the display substrate 10, and the entire pattern of the first gate portion 111 of the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1, the first wiring portion 310, and the gate electrode G2 of the second transistor T2 formed during exposure is closer to the designed pattern. Therefore, the influence of process fluctuations on the display substrate 10 during the manufacturing process can be reduced, for example, to avoid different lengths of first gate portions 111 of gate electrodes G1 of first transistors T1 and different lengths of gate electrodes G2 of second transistors T2 in different display substrates caused by the process fluctuations, thereby improving the stability of the prepared display substrate 10 and enabling the display substrate 10 to be in mass production and application.

For example, in the manufacturing process of the display substrate 10, the first gate portion 111 of the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1, the gate electrode G2 of the second transistor T2, and the first wiring portion 310 may be provided integrally, and for example, may be formed by the same patterning process, thereby optimizing the manufacturing process of the display substrate 10 and improving the stability of the manufacturing process of the display substrate 10.

For example, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the shape of the orthographic projection of the first gate portion 111 of the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1, the gate electrode G2 of the second transistor T2, and the first wiring portion 310, which are integrally provided, on the base substrate 200 may be approximately rectangular.

For example, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first gate portion 111 of the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 may also be directly connected (e.g., in direct contact) to the gate electrode G2 of the second transistor T2, that is, the first wiring portion 310 may not be required to be provided in the layout structure of the display substrate 10. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this aspect.

For example, the control terminal of the input control circuit 110 further includes a protruding portion, and the protruding portion is electrically connected to the main body portion. The gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 further includes a second gate portion, and the second gate portion is the protruding portion of the control terminal of the input control circuit 110. In the second direction R2, at least part of the orthographic projection of the second gate portion on the base substrate 200 is located between the orthographic projection of the first electrode S1 of the first transistor T1 on the base substrate 200 and the orthographic projection of the second electrode D1 of the first transistor T1 on the base substrate 200.

For example, the second gate portion of the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 may be perpendicular to the first gate portion 111 of the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1, so as to reduce the influence of process fluctuations on the layout structure of the display substrate 10 during the manufacturing process, thereby improving the stability of the prepared display substrate 10. For example, the shape of the orthographic projection of the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 on the base substrate 200 (i.e., the shape of the entire orthographic projection of the second gate portion of the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 and the first gate portion 111 of the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 on the base substrate 200) may be, for example, T-shaped, inverted T-shaped, L-shaped, cross-shaped, etc., and is not limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure.

For example, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first gate portion 111 of the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 and the second gate portion of the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 may be provided integrally, and for example, may be formed by the same patterning process, thereby optimizing the manufacturing process of the display substrate 10 and improving the stability of the manufacturing process of the display substrate 10.

For example, the second gate portion of the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 may be a portion protruding from the side, corresponding to the first side of the orthographic projection of the first gate portion 111 on the base substrate 200, of the first gate portion 111 in the second direction R2.

For example, in some examples, the shape of the orthographic projection of the second gate portion of the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 on the base substrate 200 may also be approximately rectangular. For example, with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4B, the shift register unit 100 of the display substrate 10 further includes a second wiring portion 320 and a third wiring portion 330, and the first wiring portion 310, the second wiring portion 320, and the third wiring portion 330 are electrically connected to each other. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4B, the third wiring portion 330 is not directly connected to the first wiring portion 310 and the second wiring portion 320.

For example, the second wiring portion 320 extends along the second direction R2, and the third wiring portion 330 extends along the first direction R1.

For example, the shape of the orthographic projection of the entirety of the second wiring portion 320 and the first wiring portion 310 on the base substrate 200 may be T-shaped, inverted T-shaped, L-shaped, cross-shaped, etc. The shape of the orthographic projection of the third wiring portion 330 on the base substrate 200 may be rectangular, L-shaped, cross-shaped, etc.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first electrode S7 of the seventh transistor T7 may be electrically connected to the second wiring portion 320 through a plurality of via holes, so as to be electrically connected to the first wiring portion 310, thereby optimizing the connection relationship in the display substrate 10 and reducing the contact resistance.

For example, the second wiring portion 320 may be used to electrically connect the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 and the gate electrode G2 of the second transistor T2 with, for example, the first electrode of the seventh transistor T7. For example, a connection component may be provided in other layers of the display substrate 10, and via holes may be designed at positions, corresponding to the second wiring portion 320 and the first electrode of the seventh transistor T7, respectively, of the connection component, so that the first electrode of the seventh transistor T7 may be electrically connected to the second wiring portion 320 and further electrically connected to the first clock signal line CK, thereby receiving the first clock signal (the specific setting method of the connection component is described later).

For example, in the manufacturing process of the display substrate 10, the second wiring portion 320 and the first wiring portion 310 may be integrally provided, and for example, may be formed by the same patterning process. That is, the gate electrode G1 (including the first gate portion 111 and the second gate portion) of the first transistor T1, the gate electrode G2 of the second transistor T2, the first wiring portion 310, and the second wiring portion 320 may be integrally formed, thereby further optimizing the manufacturing process of the display substrate 10 and improving the stability of the manufacturing process of the display substrate 10.

For example, the third wiring portion 330 is configured to transmit the first clock signal provided by the first clock signal line CK to the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1. The third wiring portion 330 extends in the first direction R1, the first end of the third wiring portion 330 is electrically connected to the first clock signal line CK, and the second end of the third wiring portion 330 is electrically connected to the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1, so that the first clock signal may be transmitted to the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 and further transmitted to the gate electrode G2 of the second transistor T2.

For example, the third wiring portion 330 and the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1 may be provided integrally, and for example, may be formed by the same patterning process. That is, the gate electrode G1 (including the first gate portion 111 and the second gate portion) of the first transistor T1, the gate electrode G2 of the second transistor T2, the first wiring portion 310, the second wiring portion 320, and the third wiring portion 330 may be formed integrally, thereby further optimizing the manufacturing process of the display substrate 10 and improving the stability of the manufacturing process of the display substrate 10.

For example, the first clock signal line CK is located in the third conductive layer 240 illustrated in FIG. 4D, and the first end of the third wiring portion 330 may be electrically connected to the first clock signal line CK through the tenth via hole H10 illustrated in FIG. 4D described below.

For example, in the first conductive layer 220, the first electrode CE1 of the first capacitor C1, the gate electrode G3 of the third transistor T3, and the gate electrode G4 of the fourth transistor T4 may be electrically connected to each other, and for example, may be formed by the same patterning process. The first electrode CE3 of the second capacitor C2 and the gate electrode G8 of the eighth transistor T8 may be electrically connected to each other, and for example, may be formed by the same patterning process. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this aspect.

For example, in the display substrate 10 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the second insulating layer (not illustrated) is formed on the first conductive layer 220 illustrated in FIG. 4B, and the second insulating layer is used to protect the first conductive layer 220. For example, the material of the second insulating layer may include the organic insulating material (for example, acrylic resin), the inorganic insulating material (for example, silicon nitride (SiNx) or silicon oxide (SiOx)), or the like, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this aspect.

For example, FIG. 4C illustrates the second conductive layer 230 of the display substrate 10, and the second conductive layer 230 is provided on the second insulating layer so as to be insulated from the first conductive layer 220. The second conductive layer 230 may include the second electrode CE2 of the first capacitor C1, the second electrode CE4 of the second capacitor C2, and the third connection component 430.

For example, the second electrode CE2 of the first capacitor C1 at least partially overlaps with the first electrode CE1 of the first capacitor C1 located in the first conductive layer 220, so as to form the first capacitor C1, that is, the orthographic projection of the second electrode CE2 of the first capacitor C1 on the base substrate 200 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first electrode CE1 of the first capacitor C1 on the base substrate 200. The second electrode CE4 of the second capacitor C2 at least partially overlaps with the first electrode CE3 of the second capacitor C2 located in the first conductive layer 220, so as to form the second capacitor C2, that is, the orthographic projection of the second electrode CE4 of the second capacitor C2 on the base substrate 200 at least partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the first electrode CE3 of the second capacitor C2 on the base substrate 200.

For example, the third connection component 430 may be used to electrically connect the gate electrode G4 of the fourth transistor T4, the second electrode D7 of the seventh transistor T7, and the second electrode D1 of the first transistor T1. The connection manner of the third connection component 430 is described in detail later, and details are not described herein again.

For example, in the display substrate 10 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the third insulating layer (not illustrated) is formed on the second conductive layer 230 illustrated in FIG. 4C, and the third insulating layer is used to protect the second conductive layer 230. For example, the material of the third insulating layer may include the organic insulating material (for example, acrylic resin), the inorganic insulating material (for example, silicon nitride (SiNx) or silicon oxide (SiOx)), or the like, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this aspect.

For example, FIG. 4D illustrates the third conductive layer 240 of the display substrate 10, and the third conductive layer 240 is provided on the third insulating layer so as to be insulated from the second conductive layer 230. The third conductive layer 240 may include the first clock signal line CK, the second clock signal line CB, the first power line VGL, the second power line VGH, the input signal line STV, and a plurality of connection components. For example, the plurality of connection components may be used to correspondingly electrically connect gate electrodes of the transistors with the first electrodes or second electrodes (such as source regions or drain regions) of the transistors in different layers in the display substrate 10 through via holes.

It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first electrode of the transistor further includes a portion, corresponding to the source region in the semiconductor layer 210, in the third conductive layer 240, and the second electrode of the transistor further includes a portion, corresponding to the drain region in the semiconductor layer 210, in the third conductive layer 240, but this is not limitative of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

For example, the first clock signal line CK, the second clock signal line CB, the first power line VGL, the second power line VGH, and the input signal line STV all extend in the second direction R2.

For example, the first connection component 410 is provided in the third conductive layer 240, and the first electrode S8 of the eighth transistor T8 is electrically connected to the gate electrode G5 of the fifth transistor T5 through the first connection component 410, so as to be electrically connected to the second clock signal line CB.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4A and FIG. 4D, the first electrode S8 of the eighth transistor T8 is located in the semiconductor layer 210, and the first electrode S8 of the eighth transistor T8 is electrically connected to the first connection component 410 through a plurality of fourth via holes H4. The plurality of fourth via holes H4 are located in the first insulating layer, the second insulating layer, and the third insulating layer, and are through the first insulating layer, the second insulating layer, and the third insulating layer.

For example, the gate electrode G5 of the fifth transistor T5 is located in the first conductive layer 220, and the first connection component 410 is electrically connected to the gate electrode G5 of the fifth transistor T5 through two first via holes H1 and H2. The first via holes H1 and H2 are located in the second insulating layer and the third insulating layer, and are through the second insulating layer and the third insulating layer.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure of the display substrate illustrated in FIG. 3 along a line A-A′. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 5 , the first via holes H1 and H2 are located in the second insulating layer 260 and the third insulating layer 270, and are through the second insulating layer 260 and the third insulating layer 270, so that the first connection component 410 located in the third conductive layer 240 is electrically connected to the gate electrode G5 of the fifth transistor T5 located in the first conductive layer 220.

For example, the gate electrode G5 of the fifth transistor T5 may be located on the first insulating layer 250.

For example, in the first direction R1, the orthographic projections of the first via holes H1 and H2 on the base substrate 200 are located on a side, away from the orthographic projection of the gate electrode G8 of the eighth transistor T8 on the base substrate 200, of the orthographic projection of the gate electrode G5 of the fifth transistor T5 on the base substrate 200. That is, in the direction perpendicular to the base substrate 200, the first via holes H1 and H2 may be provided on a side of the gate electrode G5 of the fifth transistor T5 away from the gate electrode G8 of the eighth transistor T8. Therefore, the arrangement of positions of the first via holes H1 and H2 may reduce the width of the position occupied by the shift register unit 100 in the display substrate 10 in the first direction R1, and may optimize the layout structure of the display substrate 10, thereby reducing the frame size of the display device including the display substrate 10 to achieve the narrow frame design, and further reducing the manufacturing cost of the display substrate 10 and the manufacturing cost of the display device including the display substrate 10.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4D, according to the layout structure of the display substrate 10, the two first via holes H1 and H2 may be arranged in the first direction R1. Alternatively, in some other embodiments of the present disclosure, according to different actual needs, the two first via holes H1 and H2 may also be arranged in the second direction R2 or other directions, which is not limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure.

For example, in some other embodiments of the present disclosure, only one first via hole H1 or one first via hole H2 may be provided, that is, the first connection component 410 may be electrically connected to the gate electrode G5 of the fifth transistor T5 through only one first via hole H1 or one first via hole H2. Alternatively, three or more first via holes H1 (or first via holes H2) may be provided, that is, the first connection component 410 may also be electrically connected to the gate electrode G5 of the fifth transistor T5 through more than two first via holes H1 (or first via holes H2), which is not limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3 , FIG. 4B, and FIG. 4D, the second clock signal line CB is located in the third conductive layer 240, and the gate electrode G5 of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the second clock signal line CB through the fourth wiring portion 500 located in the first conductive layer 220. For example, the gate electrode G5 of the fifth transistor T5 is electrically connected to the fourth wiring portion 500 in the first conductive layer 220, the fourth wiring portion 500 is electrically connected to the second clock signal line CB through the third via hole H3, and the third via hole H3 is located in the second insulating layer and the third insulating layer, and penetrates the second insulating layer and the third insulating layer.

For example, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the fourth wiring portion 500 and the gate electrode G5 of the fifth transistor T5 may be provided integrally, and for example, may be formed by the same patterning process, which is not limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure.

For example, the second connection component 420 and the fourth connection component 440 are provided in the third conductive layer 240, and the gate electrode G4 of the fourth transistor T4 is electrically connected to the second electrode D1 of the first transistor T1 and the second electrode D7 of the seventh transistor T7 through the second connection component 420, the fourth connection component 440, and the third connection component 430 located in the second conductive layer 230.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4D, in some examples, the shape of the second connection component 420 may be rectangular, and the shape of the fourth connection component 440 may be L-shaped.

For example, the gate electrode G4 of the fourth transistor T4 is located in the first conductive layer 220, and the gate electrode G4 of the fourth transistor T4 is electrically connected to the second connection component 420 through the fifth via hole H5. The fifth via hole H5 is located in the second insulating layer and the third insulating layer, and penetrates the second insulating layer and the third insulating layer.

For example, in the embodiments of the present disclosure illustrated in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4D, the gate electrode G4 of the fourth transistor T4 is electrically connected to the second connection component 420 through two fifth via holes H5 arranged in the second direction R2. However, in some other embodiments of the present disclosure, only one fifth via hole H5 may be provided; or, a plurality of (e.g., three, four, or the like) fifth via holes H5 may be provided, and the plurality of fifth via holes H5 may be arranged in the first direction R1, the second direction R2, or other directions according to different actual layout requirements, which is not limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure.

For example, the second connection component 420 is electrically connected to the third connection component 430 through the sixth via hole H6, and the sixth via hole H6 is located in the third insulating layer and is through the third insulating layer.

For example, in the embodiments of the present disclosure as illustrated in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4D, the second connection component 420 is electrically connected to the third connection component 430 through two sixth via holes H6 arranged in the second direction R2. However, in some other embodiments of the present disclosure, only one sixth via hole H6 may be provided; or, a plurality of (e.g., three, four, or the like) sixth via holes H6 may be provided, and the plurality of sixth via holes H6 may be arranged in the first direction R1, the second direction R2, or other directions according to different actual layout requirements, which is not limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure.

For example, in the embodiments illustrated in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4D, the arrangement of the fifth via hole H5 and the sixth via hole H6 in the second direction R2 may reduce the width of the position occupied by the shift register unit 100 in the display substrate 10 in the first direction R1, and may optimize the layout structure of the display substrate 10, thereby reducing the frame size of the display device including the display substrate 10 to achieve the narrow frame design.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4C and FIG. 4D, the third connection component 430 is electrically connected to the fourth connection component 440 through the seventh via hole H7, and the seventh via hole H7 is located in the third insulating layer and is through the third insulating layer.

For example, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the third connection component 430 is electrically connected to the fourth connection component 440 through two seventh via holes H7 arranged in the second direction R2. However, in some other embodiments of the present disclosure, only one seventh via hole H7 may be provided; or, a plurality of (e.g., three, four, or the like) seventh via holes H7 may be provided, and the plurality of seventh via holes H7 may be arranged in the first direction R1, the second direction R2, or other directions according to different actual layout requirements, which is not limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the number of fifth via holes H5, the number of sixth via holes H6, and the number of seventh vi holes H7 may be the same, and may all be one. Alternatively, the number of fifth via holes H5, the number of sixth via holes H6, and the number of seventh via holes H7 may all be more than one (for example, two, three, or the like). In some other embodiments, at least part of a group consisting of the number of fifth via holes H5, the number of sixth via holes H6, and the number of seventh via holes H7 may be the same. For example, the number of seventh via holes H7 may be two, and both the number of fifth via holes H5 and the number of sixth via holes H6 may be one. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this aspect.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3 or FIG. 4C, the third connection component 430 may be of a polyline type, and for example, at least one bending portion of the third connection component 430 may be set at a right angle, thereby reducing the influence of process fluctuations on the display substrate 10 during the manufacturing process, optimizing the manufacturing process of the display substrate 10, and improving the stability of the prepared display substrate 10. Alternatively, in some other embodiments of the present disclosure, according to different actual layout requirements, the bending portion of the third connection component 430 may also be set to other angles, or the third connection component 430 may also be set to other suitable shapes, which is not limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4A and FIG. 4D, the second electrode D1 of the first transistor T1 and the second electrode D7 of the seventh transistor T7 are located in the semiconductor layer 210, the second electrode D1 of the first transistor T1 is electrically connected to the fourth connection component 440 through the eighth via hole H8, and the second electrode D7 of the seventh transistor T7 is electrically connected to the fourth connection component 440 through the ninth via hole H9. The eighth via hole H8 and the ninth via hole H9 are located in the first insulating layer, the second insulating layer, and the third insulating layer, and penetrate the first insulating layer, the second insulating layer, and the third insulating layer.

For example, in some other embodiments of the present disclosure, a plurality of (e.g., two, three, or the like) eighth via holes H8 may be provided to allow the second electrode D1 of the first transistor T1 to be electrically connected to the fourth connection component 440, a plurality of (e.g., two, three, or the like) ninth via holes H9 may also be provided to allow the second electrode D7 of the seventh transistor T7 to be electrically connected to the fourth connection component 440, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this aspect.

For example, the seventh via hole H7 and the eighth via hole H8 are arranged in the second direction R2.

For example, with reference to FIG. 4A and FIG. 4D, the first clock signal line CK is located in the third conductive layer 240, the gate electrode G1 of the first transistor T1, the gate electrode G2 of the second transistor T2, and the third wiring portion 330 are located in the first conductive layer 220, and the first end of the third wiring portion 330 is electrically connected to the first clock signal line CK through the tenth via hole H10. The tenth via hole H10 is located in the second insulating layer and the third insulating layer, and is through the second insulating layer and the third insulating layer.

For example, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first end of the third wiring portion 330 is electrically connected to the first clock signal line CK through two tenth via holes H10 arranged in the second direction R2. However, in some other embodiments of the present disclosure, only one tenth via hole H10 may be provided; or, a plurality of (e.g., three, four, or the like) tenth via holes H10 may be provided, and the plurality of tenth via holes H10 may be arranged in the first direction R1, the second direction R2, or other directions according to different actual layout requirements, which is not limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure.

For example, in the display substrate 10 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the fourth insulating layer (not illustrated) is formed on the third conductive layer 240 illustrated in FIG. 4D, and the fourth insulating layer is used to protect the third conductive layer 240. For example, in the case where the display substrate 10 is an OLED substrate, for example, the anode of each pixel unit may be provided on the fourth insulating layer. For example, according to different actual requirements, other structures or functional layers of the display substrate 10 may also be formed on the third conductive layer 240, which is not limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure.

For example, in the display substrate 10 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, other structures or functional layers may also be included among the layers of the display substrate 10 illustrated in FIG. 4A to FIG. 4D described above, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this aspect.

At least an embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a manufacturing method of the display substrate according to any one of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and the manufacturing method includes: forming a first conductive layer on the base substrate, the first conductive layer including the main body portion of the control terminal of the input control circuit.

For example, by taking the display substrate 10 illustrated in FIG. 3 as an example, as illustrated in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4A to FIG. 4D, the manufacturing method of the display substrate 10 provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure includes: forming the semiconductor layer 210 on the base substrate 200; forming the first insulating layer on the semiconductor layer 210; forming the first conductive layer 220 on the base substrate 200 on which the first insulating layer is formed, where the first conductive layer 220 includes the main body portion of the control terminal of the input control circuit 110, and the extending direction of the main body portion is in a straight line; forming the second insulating layer on the first conductive layer 220; forming the second conductive layer 230 on the second insulating layer; forming the third insulating layer on the second conductive layer 230; and forming the third conductive layer 240 on the third insulating layer.

The data driver 630 provides converted data signals to the plurality of data lines DL. For example, the data driver 630 may be implemented as a semiconductor chip.

For example, the timing controller 620 processes the externally input image data RGB to match the size and resolution of the display device 50, and then provides the processed image data to the data driver 630. The timing controller 620 uses a synchronization signal SYNC (for example, a dot clock (DCLK), a data enable signal (DE), a horizontal synchronization signal (Hsync), and a vertical synchronization signal (Vsync)) input from outside of the display device 50 to generate a plurality of scanning control signals GCS and a plurality of data control signals DCS. The timing controller 620 provides the generated scanning control signal GCS and the data control signal DCS to the gate driver 610 and the data driver 630, respectively, for controlling the gate driver 610 and the data driver 630.
